Dinosaur Eggs Not Bird-Like After All

Prevailing secular theory considers birds to be living dinosaurs, but new science is hatching to support the stark differences between these creatures. The data demonstrate dinosaurs were more likely cold-blooded like all modern reptiles.
Dr. Gregory Erickson of Florida State University and his colleagues from the University of Calgary and the American Museum of Natural History recently published their findings on dinosaur incubation periods in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.1 They found that dinosaur eggs took roughly twice as long to hatch as comparable bird eggs.
How did they determine the exact incubation times? The team discovered that embryonic dinosaurs had incremental layers of von Ebner gland protein in their developing teeth that formed growth lines, much like tree rings.1

Of course dinosaur eggs are nothing like modern bird eggs. It takes only one dinosaur egg to make a three-egg omelet.
it was not the intention of the Spirit of God, who spoke through them, to teach men anything that would not be of use to them for their salvation.
Quite a variation from Islam, that says you do not need to know anything outside of the Koran.
That is why the West became the leader of the world in science and like while Islam squandered thousands of years of Greco-Roman legacy and earlier to become an intellectual back water.
In the 1920s Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History lead an expedition into the Gobi and made the first discover of dinosaur eggs. He’s one of my “dinner party of famous people” members, and was a remarkable contributor to the fields of biology and paleontology; especially remarkable because he was a museum janitor who worked his way up to be the museum director.

Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
Acts 10 NIV
Peter’s Vision
9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

Except when it comes to ‘man-caused climate change’- why then it’s ‘settled science- beyond refute’ as soon as they declare it so-
He was also (almost certainly) a spy and agent for he American Government. An incredible man.
Everyone should read “This Business of Exploring”. It is one of my favorites.
Here is the review I wrote:

Dinosaurs are not extinct.
They are just hiding from Chuck Norris.
There could be many reasons that dinosaurs, while in the egg, were cold blooded. How can a animal that weighs multiple tons safely sit on an egg? If they could not safely brood the eggs by covering them with their bodies the eggs were dependent on heat from rotting vegetable matter. Perhaps while in the egg the embryo, while it could maintain its body temperature within reason, had to be able to survive cold snaps, and then when born became fully warm blooded. They should really take a look at the teeth of small, very small dinosaur species, to see if they had the same tooth rings.
No, the Clintons are.

Well, yeah, but would you want to chow down on a possible reptile-ish thing while your pet snake was watching you?
That’s just cold, man.
;D
LOLOL!
Snakes don’t see very well and they detect body heat for prey, so anything I eat would be ignored by the snake..................
Here is an article that comes close to my thoughts and God and science:
